The Ninth Thousand-Year Lord’s Darling

Su Qingwan was on her way to the capital to seek justice when she crossed paths with Lu Yuan, the nine-thousand-year-old eunuch. Lu Yuan confined her to his residence. By day, she was a despised plaything of the eunuch faction; by night, she discovered that the powerful minister’s gaze burned so fiercely it could sear right through her. Lu Yuan used cutting words and suggestive gestures to humiliate her pride, yet stood up in court to clear the names of the entire Su family. When Su Qingwan accidentally caught sight of Lu Yuan changing and saw that his body was whole, yet covered in scars, all her hatred turned into an indescribable desire and heartache.
